Regime change at CW's 90210Rebecca Rand Kirshner Sinclair is taking a permanent residence in the 90210 ZIP code. On the heels of the freshman CW show's renewal, Sinclair has inked a new seven-figure deal with 90210 producer CBS Par and has been tapped to serve as executive producer/showrunner on the high school drama for the next two seasons.
Sinclair joined 90210 as an exec producer in September, when she inked a two-year overall deal with CBS Par. Under the pact, she was to run the writers room this season, working alongside exec producers/showrunners Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, then segue into development while serving as a consultant if 90210 returned for a sophomore year. With her new deal, Sinclair has been given the show's reins through the 2010-11 season. Sachs and Judah likely will depart at the end of this season.

AMC lesbian wedding storyline makes history — and mistakesSarah Warn, AfterEllen's Editor in Chief writes: "Many queer and straight viewers began heading for the door when it became clear that the kisses and the wedding plans were just new ways to dress up the same old depressing and boring lesbian storylines about sperm donors, custody battles, and sexually confused lesbians.

Web soap explores gay safe sex in a post-Prop 8 world with four new episodes launching this springThe boys are back! The L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's online soap opera, IN THE MOMENT, returns with four new "webisodes" following the lives of several young gay men living in West Hollywood as they face difficult decisions about relationships, politics, drugs and sex. This season, which features a cameo by Darryl Stephens of NOAH'S ARC, includes up-to-the-moment topics such as Prop 8.
The new webisodes arrive amidst growing concerns regarding the rising HIV-infection rate among our nation's youth. New York City health officials recently reported that new HIV infections among young gay and bisexual men have risen 32 percent in recent years, in contrast to an overall drop for men older than 30.
"More and more young people are watching video content online, and more and more young gay guys describe meeting people on the web for dating and sex," says independent filmmaker Dave O'Brien, 31, who wrote, directed and co-developed In the Moment. "We had to create something that would tap into that, and do it in a way that wasn't about shaming people for their behavior. We wanted to create something that was about starting a conversation...bringing all of us together to help stop the spread of HIV."
